Where will you be staying? Costa Mesa is a large city. The best bets for bike rentals are down by the beach. There are 9 miles of bike paths in Huntington Beach. I wouldn't try to bike along Bristol near South Coast Plaza.

If you are at the Hilton at Bristol & Paularino, it is a lousy location to bike from. On the plus side you are very close to great shopping that is walkable and inside the Mitsuwa Market across the street are four great places to eat Japanese fast food including Santouka Ramen.

Sounds like I'll be taking the bus or walking to the beach areas and then renting a bike there. Shopping is running errands, imho, not recreation so I'll probably skip that. However, I'll check out the Japanese restaurants!
